Wasn't sure which I should buy first, but it looks like most of the champs that I currently use, or would like to try out, pack Shielding (blue) and Resilience (yellow), with some variations on red/quints. So, I now have 6 Resilience, 6 Shielding, 4 Insight, 2 Swiftness. Plan to pick up the other 2 Insight as I obtain the rest of the IP, then fill in the rest of the slots as I open them up.

For anyone wondering, those are the suggested runes for the Warwick build I'm using (and replacing Swiftness with Resilience would cover me for the Amumu build I use.)

If I may make a suggestion, once you get all of those, get Flat Armor penetration Reds, and Pure health Quintessences.

having 9x Armor pen and Magic Pen reds, 9x Flat armor Yellows, 9x Magic resist/level blues, 3x Health quints and 3x move speed quints will mean you have a pristine rune set for every single champion. Maybe not IDEAL for every champion, but definietely usable for every champ (Also; use the health quints over move speed unless you're playing a naturally tanky char.)

I definitely want to hit gold this season. Highest I ever got was around 1450 but then I took a huge loss streak and sunk to 1150 before they reset the highest elo. I've been bouncing between 1100 and 1200 since -.- FML

However I have found a competent AD carry that's willing to duo queue with me. So hopefully the two of us can dominate bot lane seeing as I seem to be splitting my time equally between support and jungle. Can't carry a game, but I'll do my best to make sure someone can. Having said that I've been toying with Diana jungle, dominated a couple normals with her so far. The ranked game I played with her was mostly a 4v5 so we were pretty much doomed anyway.

So, I now officially have my first "report skye for unskilled" in chat because a dumbass Lux apparently doesn't realize that Soraka can't chain heal. I'm sorry one of my heals is on a 16s cd and the other is almost 2m... Not much I can do about it when ALL FOUR OF YOU ARE TAKING DAMAGE AT ONCE...

Leona is probably my best support, she just has so much freaking CC, and she's got innate tankiness from her W.

However, Chogath is also a surprisingly good support:

1. Innately high health from his ult2. Innately high burst damage from his ult3. Ranged AOE Knockup4. Ranged AOE silence5. Can sustain himself fairly well if the carry leaves the lane6. Is a gentleman and a scholar.

Granted, this was all back in season 2, so YMMV.

In season 3, I've been playing jungle kayle almost exclusively. She's entirely too strong.

Courage not of this earth in your eyesFaith from far beyond lies deep inside

Picked up Thresh and have found he is quite similar to Amumu. His Q allows him to pull himself towards the opponent OR you can choose not to hit it a second time and drag your opponent towards you a little ways. His Ult is a pretty good initiator/peeler.

All of his moves are pretty much skillshots, his W gives him any interrupt/small knockback (or forward) that also slows. It's not a huge movement, but I've found works pretty well at keeping enemy champs in range just long enough to get the kill (especially early on if they've pushed us back to our tower. Q them, drag them a little, hit Q again to pull yourself towards them, hit W pushing them towards the tower and if you're lvl 6, your Ult will likely finish them off if the tower hasn't already done so.)

In total, I like him. I haven't quite mastered his E to help get people in position or save them (usually because I'm either too late, or they're better at positioning than I am to begin with.)

Just won a 4v5. A Jax insisted he was claiming mid and we were just going to let him, but then he left right at the beginning instead. So, with Jungle Mord, Mid Kassadin, Top Jarvan and Bot Thresh (me) we managed to pull it out. It probably wouldn't have worked as well if the Mord wasn't a pretty decent Jungler (he was all over the map) and the other team was apparently scared of us, but even with 4v5 team fights they couldn't win, and they weren't able to push the lanes. I think we only lost like 1 or 2 towers. Anywho, that was fun and really goes to show that teamwork wins games!
